RP Oils or VCIs?

RP Oils or VCIs: Which Protection Method is Best for Me?

Posted on October 31, 2018
When considering corrosion protection methods, plenty of options are available. The two methods most used for protecting metals during the manufacturing processes of shipment and storage are corrosion inhibitor liquids and VCI (volatile corrosion inhibitor) packaging products. Corrosion inhibitor liquids, also known as “Rust Preventatives” (RPs) or oils, are available in a wide range of
VCI Shrink vs VCI Stretch Wrap

What is the Difference Between VCI Shrink and VCI Stretch Wrap?

Posted on October 26, 2018
Often people interchange the product names VCI Shrink Film and VCI Stretch Wrap, but they are two distinct packaging films. Both Vapor Corrosion Inhibitor (VCI) protection-infused films possess different mechanical properties. Vapor Corrosion Inhibitor (VCI) stretch film VCI stretch film tightly bundles items such as pallets. It’s similar to plastic wrap and has a sticky quality

Volatile Corrosion Inhibitor (VCI) Packaging is an effective way to prevent corrosion on metals. When packed correctly, VCI packaging can protect clean metals for years in shipping and storage. Typical VCI packaging products are VCI poly sheeting, VCI bags, VCI Kraft paper, and other VCI wraps. These packaging products are used to line containers or create

VCI Poly vs VCI Paper? The Advantages and Disadvantages Explained

Posted on October 23, 2018
Volatile Corrosion Inhibitors (VCIs) have been around since the 1940’s, when a product named Dichan was introduced into market. Dichan consisted of dicyclohexylamine-nitrite, which was described as a vapor phase corrosion inhibitor that had sufficient vapor pressure to release corrosion inhibiting molecules into the surrounding area. Eventually, this chemistry began to be coated onto paper,

VCIs vs Desiccants. How do they Differ?

Posted on October 22, 2018
People often confuse VCI (Vapor or Volatile Corrosion Inhibitor) with desiccants, as they are used to control corrosion during shipping and storage. However, the way these chemistries work is much different. Depending on the application, environment, and length of protection, you may get better results with VCI vs. desiccants. Some highly effective packaging systems use
